After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

Rather, the awkwardness you feel on a daily basis is just practice!

The reason why Elusia bullies her so much is to strengthen their cooperation.

and so……

……

"Hmph, you little fool, you know how much trouble you've caused others by messing things up, don't you?"

"Woooo..."

"Looking at your silly face makes me angry! But... you're not entirely useless, and after what you've done, I think I understand how they're going to attack us."

"what?"

"Yes, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Everything depends on adaptability in the moment. Let's proceed cautiously from now on."

……

……

Although she said she was unhappy, after all that, Elusia's mood improved a lot.

The train continued speeding through the endless tunnel, and perhaps because it had already defeated the giant tiger, the journey was uneventful.

"Jessica, thank you so much just now. If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have been able to help Elusia."

"It's alright, Your Highness. It's our duty... Actually, we've tried to cheer Princess Lunis up before, but we've never succeeded."

"W-what?!"

"Back in the Snow Kingdom? At that time, although the capital city didn't have an adventurer's guild, it did have a Kingdom Commission Association. And many of the commissions I received were for the purpose of making Princess Luness smile."

"!"

"However, that task was simply too difficult to accomplish. Princess Luness's work was extremely demanding, and the situation was getting worse every day, with society becoming increasingly chaotic. Princess Luness simply couldn't manage a smile."

"So, is that so..."

Lonnies knew that the world of heroes she had experienced was somewhat different from the real Snow Kingdom.

At least in the world she had experienced, Princess Lunis was just a decorative figurehead who never truly appeared... But in the actual capital, she needed Yan Yuan and the country to do many things for her.

"So, now that I see you making Princess Elusia happy, I feel that you are already a qualified hero and companion! At least, much better than the idiots of our Snow Kingdom."

"Ah, this is too kind... because, this is probably my only use right now, isn't it? Who told me to look so cute and girly right now..."

And so, everyone continued forward together on the train.

With everyone taking turns on duty, Coriway already had a map of the tunnel in her mind, so she didn't have to worry about getting lost.

During this time, everyone gradually became acquainted. Su Ling, in particular, developed a great interest in Lornish's past.

Because she already knew that Lonnie had been a boy, no one hid the truth about it.

Whether it was Elusia, Tass, or Jessica, they all recounted, to varying degrees, Lonnies's past deeds.

……

"Your Highness Zhou Suling, don't let Lornish's current cuteness fool you; she used to be quite dashing!"

"Huh? Miss Jessica, really?"

"Yes, he was so enthusiastic back then, no matter where. Whenever a girl was in danger, Lonnie would rush over immediately to save the kind girl."

"Wow, that's amazing!!!"

Su Ling listened with great interest, and at the most exciting parts, she couldn't help but want to jump up.

"Then, since Xiao Luo is so amazing, wouldn't she be very popular with girls!"

"Hmm, that's how it should be, isn't it? But... when Lonnie was a hero, she always had a bad habit."

"what?"

"That is, he always stares at other people's chests and legs. Although he doesn't say anything, girls are very sensitive to this kind of gaze. So over time, the rumor that the hero is a big pervert spread to various places."

"Oh...is that so? Su-ling didn't notice..."

Su Ling blinked, seemingly not the type of girl who was "sensitive to eye contact".

"Moreover, he has a great interest in women wearing stockings. So, to satisfy his needs, most young women of marriageable age basically wear that kind of clothing."

"Oh, if everyone dresses like this, won't it be very tiring?"

"No, because the stockings in the Land of the End are very comfortable. Besides... we also have to serve His Highness the Hero, right? His Highness the Hero has fulfilled that dream for us. We're just wearing some clothes, it's perfectly fine."

"Hmm...that's impressive too, Xiao Luo! I never expected Xiao Luo to be so handsome. So, his current gentleness and thoughtfulness are because he's playing dumb to fool others!"

"Woooo..."

Seeing Su Ling's expectant gaze, Lonnies felt incredibly ashamed.

This pink-haired girl probably thinks she's like a hero in a traditional story, having experienced everything, so she has no desires and wants, and after retiring, she dresses up in a cute way and just enjoys life.

but……

……

"Oh, right! Su Ling, please don't misunderstand. Although His Highness had a reputation for being lewd back then, he never actually slept with any girl. Even when a pretty girl was pursuing him, he wouldn't go for it."

"what?"

"In the end, he simply hid in the Adventurers' Guild, and it was only with my help that His Highness was able to get through this."

"Is that so? How come I didn't know?"

Elusia frowned and approached from somewhere.

"Ah...ah! Elcia, don't misunderstand, that's not a female fan, it's a male fan dressed as a woman. Although she's very pretty, there's absolutely no way I could be attracted to her, right?"

"So, what this silly boy means is that you'd be interested if she were a real female fan?"

"what?!!"

"He's engaged to the princess, but he's actually a womanizer. He secretly watches Jessica's breasts every time he wants to see a noble lady changing clothes?"

"Master Elusia, please forgive me, waaaaaah!!!!"

Lornes realized that she absolutely could not bring up the past anymore.

Because the more you bring it up, the more embarrassing things you'll find in your past!

Chapter 39 The Land of the End

Finally, after three days of travel, the girls arrived at their destination—the Land of the End.

Of course, along the way, the group was attacked by many monsters, but without exception, they were all defeated by them.

When the enormous doors came into view, Lonnie felt a surge of pride.

……

(Yes, I'm back.)

Lonnies hadn't forgotten that when she first arrived here, she was extremely weak and had no fighting ability whatsoever. In the end, she even had to crawl out.

But what about now?

I not only gained so much power, but also so many partners. It's simply amazing!

However, Elusia just shrugged, looking at Lonnies as if she were an idiot: "Huh? The little maid seems very excited, as if she misses the time she spent with me?"

"what?!"

"Something that happened together? Elusia, what did you and Xiao Luo do back then?!"

"Ah, Su-ling, please stop asking. Waaah..."

Of course, Lonnie remembered that when she first "met" Elusia, there were quite a few misunderstandings between them.

Because she was dissatisfied with "this partner", she was bullied by Elcia and used as a cushion for breasts. It was extremely miserable!

"Hmph, little fox, don't be impatient. When the opportunity arises, I'll do a high-definition replica~~ Stay tuned~~~"

"Woooo..."

"But now? I need to open the entrance here, and once it's open, we need to get to work immediately, right?"

"Is it because there might be some movement from Caster's side?"

“That’s right. When we enter, the barrier field of the End of the World will also disappear. Caster’s men may also break in... but fortunately, it was just some minions who entered at first.”

Why, why?

"Although the barrier has disappeared, this place is still the sanctuary of heroes, and the remaining influence here will still hinder the entry of high-ranking demons. However, this period will not be long, at most 7 days, and Castor will be able to arrive here."

"Oh……"

"Then, shall we use these seven days to complete the plan we set out earlier?"

Elusia smiled slightly and looked at her companions.

Her response was firm.

"Princess Elusia, we will fight with all our might!"

"Your Highness Lonnies, you don't need to worry about us this time. We are robots and we won't die... So let us fight here."

"Everyone, keep going! Su-ling will do her best too!"

……

And so, the group suddenly found themselves in the Land of the End.

Just like when Lonnies left, the outer passages of the End of the World were also in a state of disrepair.

The ground was covered with shards of glass, and the passageway was mostly damaged... but since it wasn't her first time here, Elusia seemed to know her way around very well.
